Those who know the area will pick out the Manchester Ship Canal, coming up from the west to end in the quays. The M602 and Salford are to the left, and in the top left corner is a large bend of the River Irwell. To the right is the Old Trafford Football Stadium and, near the centre by the two side docks, are The Lowry centre and the Imperial War Museum.
